Majesty Palm Watering: You're Watering Too Often—Weekly Dry-Down Required

Watering every 2-3 days when top feels dry = way too frequent for Majesty Palm. This causes brown tips and spots.

Correct Watering

1. Water THOROUGHLY (all soil moist)
2. Empty drain tray at 1 hour (turkey baster if heavy)
3. DO NOT WATER AGAIN FOR ~1 WEEK
4. Test: Bamboo skewer in soil. Pull out—if not dry halfway down, wait days more

Why This Works

• Majesty palms need dry-down cycles for root oxygen
• Constant moisture = root rot = brown tips/spots
• Top-feel method fails (surface dries, bottom stays swampy)

Skewer Method = Foolproof

Leave skewer inserted. Check weekly. Dry to halfway = water time. Simple, accurate, free.

Your palm will green up and stop browning once the root zone gets air.
